All Politics Is Loco | The American Spectator

The usual Washington square need not apply.

Strange civil-rights struggles to vote without proof of identity and use a public bathroom based on gender identity animate today’s Democratic Party voters as they alienate yesterday’s.

Bernie Sanders spoke at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network event on Thursday, maintaining that Republican governors seek to “bring us back to Jim Crow days” by requiring identification at the polls (presumably for the same reason those Bull Connors who sell beer, give out library cards, and allow you to board an airplane do). This follows his condemnation in late March of a North Carolina law that redundantly instructs males to use the men’s room and females to use the ladies’ room, a universally embraced custom that did not require force of law until very recently. “It's time to end discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity,” Sanders tweeted. “This law has no place in America.”
